UPT20: Gorakhpur Lions Snatch Thrilling Win Over Kanpur Superstars Despite Adarshs Ton

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Gaur Gorakhpur Lions held their nerve in a final-over thriller to pull off a dramatic three-wicket victory over Kanpur Superstars via the DLS Method in a rain-curtailed UP T20 League encounter in Lucknow on Wednesday. The result also meant opener Adarsh Singhs historic century was in vain at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana International Cricket Stadium. Opting to field after winning the toss, Gorakhpur skipper Aryan Juyal found his bowlers under immediate pressure as Adarsh, who played for India in the 2024 U19 Mens Cricket World Cup, dominated from the outset. Displaying exceptional power-hitting, Adarsh struck an unbeaten 101 off 54 balls, laced with three boundaries and nine sixes. His knock marked the first century of UP T20 League season four and the third overall in the tournaments history. Adarshs blitz propelled Kanpur Superstars to a commanding 150/2 in 15.4 overs before heavy rain forced a lengthy stoppage. When play eventually resumed, match officials revised the target to a steep 121 runs from 10 overs. The Lions launched an aggressive pursuit, racing to 73/4 in five overs thanks to a quickfire start from opener Abhay Pratap Singh, who smashed 33 off 17 deliveries. Dot balls soon slowed the momentum, leaving Gorakhpur with the equation of needing 23 runs from the final 12 balls. Nishant Kushwah then turned the match on its head by aggressively targeting pacer Vineet Panwar to extract 17 runs from the penultimate over. When play eventually resumed, match officials revised the target to a steep 121 runs from 10 overs.

Walking Style, Body Language Show Everything Inside UPW Chief Scout Davids Philosophy

Inside UP Warriorz: Long before the first ball of the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), Neetu David is already at work from the edge of the boundary ropes, watching the subtle mechanics of a player simply walking across the field. For the former India left-arm spinner, who spent five years as chief selector and signed off from her tenure by selecting the 2025 ODI World Cup-winning team, a cricketers stride reveals far more to her than any conventional stat sheet. Now taking on the role of chief scout for WPL franchise UP Warriorz, Neetu brings her uniquely intuitive barometer to the high-stakes world of franchise cricket and the scouting universe. I can't speak for what others do. But in terms of my process, what I like to see and what I think, according to me, is that the walking style of the players tells how the player will be. I tend to understand a player based on how their walking style is -- whether it is very agile or slow or very mentally tough. Seeing that helps me gain the initial understanding, and when I go to watch a match, I like to go before the match so that I can see how the players are doing their respective work in the outfield, and I focus a lot on it. Yes, because it makes a lot of difference to see the player in a match and what she is doing before playing that game. I also see her body language before and after the match. It shows you a lot of things, and this is my personal view, Neetu told IANS in an exclusive interview on Wednesday. That sharp eye for hidden potential has already given a lot of players to the national side, especially after WPL began in 2023. There are a lot of players we see and think that they are not ready. But they are ready for the challenge. When Kranti Gaud came, she didn't know anything. But today she is a star. When Sree Charani came, she didn't know anything. We used to think, what will she play? But when you watch her bowling, you will feel that this girl is very different. There are a lot of things that we don't understand. But when we set up a camp, we understand that we have chosen the right player. Like, this is the right player, and she will go ahead, adds Neetu. Her entry to the UPW set-up is an interesting tale - exhausted after wrapping up an assignment with the Bihar team, Neetu initially sought time off before a persuasive call from a trusted person in her circle sealed the deal. Kshemal (Waingankar, COO) ji called me and asked me if I was interested or not. So, I told him to give me two days' time because my Bihar assignment was just over and I was not getting time for myself. So, I gave him this answer directly because I did not know what the system was. But after two days, I called and discussed with my senior, who is very important to me, and the reply which came was, Aap immediately haan bol do as ek toh yeh aapki apni franchise hai (You immediately say yes to it as first of all, it is your franchise). Then I called Kshemal ji and told him that, I am okay, I am in. Moving from tracking state age-group tournaments to see who can go to U19 and senior Indian teams to observing various leagues has presented a sharp learning curve even for an ICC Hall of Famer like Neetu, who knows the best of all the worlds. There is a lot of difference, as in the domestic circuit, you do know how your players are because you have been watching them since the U-15s. Here, the role is a little different because you have to follow international cricket, and all the leagues, tournaments, or whatever is going on right now in India and overseas. You have to follow everything right now, and for me, it is a little bit of a new thing, and the support staff of UP Warriorz has helped me a lot. I am trying to get more into this thing, and I am seeing that there are a lot of difficulties, but I am also enjoying it a lot, and its very interesting too, she said. Despite the variance in international team selection and assembling a franchise T20 team, Neetu maintains that there are still some similarities. I feel that both are equal in a lot of ways. In the domestic and international cricket circuits I have seen and experienced so far, there are a lot of age groups, and there are a lot of tournaments. So, you have to focus a lot on the performance of each state and each kid and see their performance and data very carefully. When you go to internationals, it is the same, and there are not a lot of difficulties because there is not a lot of junior-level cricket. So, I don't think there is a lot of difference in that, she added. The primary puzzle for UPW, a side yet to win the WPL and wooden spooners in the last two seasons, to solve is also identifying players capable of carrying the mental burden of franchise cricket. For that, we have to see a lot of things because right now, while looking for players for India, there were difficulties. I won't say that there weren't any. But here, I have to think about a lot of things. Like there are international cricketers and our national cricketers, and considering that, we have to think a lot about whether this player will be able to play at that level or not. Will she be able to handle the pressure or not? This is a bit of a big challenge for us. Yet, Neetu remains optimistic about the upward trajectory of the Indian talent pool since WPLs inception. Its been very good. Earlier, we had very few bench strength players. But now you will have so many players who can go to play for India. We think that because of the injuries, we are not getting many players. But now you will have a backup of every player in every side in the coming years, she added. With an off-season camp done recently in Bengaluru under head coach Abhishek Nayar and mentor Lisa Sthalekar, UPW is laying the groundwork one step at a time for having a memorable 2027 WPL. Yes, we had an off-season camp there, and some players had come. We were discussing with Abhishek and Lisa that we want to see our combination, and we want to see the ready players. With an off-season camp done recently in Bengaluru under head coach Abhishek Nayar and mentor Lisa Sthalekar, UPW is laying the groundwork one step at a time for having a memorable 2027 WPL.

We will proceed accordingly, signed off Neetu. Article Source: IANS

It's Nice That Neetu David Gets To Work With A Franchise Like UP Warriorz, Says Anjum Chopra

ODI World Cup: Former India captain Anjum Chopra believes ex-chief selector Neetu David's move into becoming the chief scout of WPL franchise UP Warriorz is a fitting next step for someone who has already given Indian cricket so much as a competitive player and later in strategic off-field roles. Neetu was recently unveiled as chief scout of UPW in the WPL, and this marks her first franchise T20 cricket role since stepping down as chair of the women's selection committee - a panel that, during her tenure starting from 2020 picked the Harmanpreet Kaur-led India squad that won the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup on home soil. It's good. I mean, look, Neetu David is a quality cricketer. Take nothing away from her. She's a hall of famer and was a quality cricketer who won matches for India. The entire duration she played for India, she was a match winner. So, she knows a lot about Indian cricket. A lot about the players coming through the line and because she's been a selector, she would obviously know the current bunch of players who are there, and coming through the ranks, and probably as a selector, she was keeping their eyes on them. It's nice that she's got an opportunity to work with one of the franchise teams and she'll be a part of that setup when you're a part of a franchise team where the discussions are very different, the preparation is very different, the thinking is very different. So, she, as an individual, will also be exposed to so many different things, and discussions which will help Neetu, and UP Warriorz. I hope it will also help a lot of cricketers who are around Neetu David because she can obviously impart that kind of skill to these players, Anjum told IANS in an exclusive conversation on Wednesday. UPWs scouting processes were being locally taken care of by the coaches and former CoE bowling coach Rajib Dutta was also briefly engaged with them during this years womens Bengal T20 league. Neetus playing career remains among the most decorated in Indian women's cricket. An accomplished left-arm spinner, she played ten Tests and 97 ODIs for India between 1995 and 2008, finishing with 182 wickets across formats, and still holds the record for the best bowling figures in a women's Test innings 8-53 against the West Indies in Jamshedpur in 1995. In 2024, she became only the second Indian woman inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame and recently served as a special selector in the Bihar set-up. UPW made the playoffs in the inaugural WPL season in 2023, but finished bottom of the table in both 2025 and 2026. An accomplished left-arm spinner, she played ten Tests and 97 ODIs for India between 1995 and 2008, finishing with 182 wickets across formats, and still holds the record for the best bowling figures in a women's Test innings 8-53 against the West Indies in Jamshedpur in 1995.

Aamir Khans box-office formula is BROKEN? Happy Patel, Ek Din, Batwara 1947 fail to fire; trade says, He is not able to adjust to the post-Covid reality

At one point, a film produced by Aamir Khan Productions meant not just a quality product but also a certain degree of commercial success, even when the subject was niche. Many years ago, a film like PEEPLI [Live] (2010), which had no known stars, managed to open at nearly Rs. 4 crores and went on to collect Rs. 30.41 crores in its lifetime. Aamir Khans involvement as a producer and the films strong marketing helped generate considerable awareness. Films like PEEPLI [Live] and Dhobi Ghat (2011) were marketed extensively, which helped bring audiences to cinemas. However, this year, Aamir Khan Productions has suffered back-to-back blows. It began with Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos, which collected just Rs. 5.52 crores. Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, fared even worse, earning a paltry Rs. 3.79 crores. And now, the big-budget Batwara 1947 has had a very poor run, sending shockwaves through the trade. Despite the presence of Sunny Deol in the lead and Rajkumar Santoshi as director, the film failed to open well and is now expected to end its theatrical run with lifetime earnings of less than Rs. 45 crores. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, I can understand a few films not doing well in the recent past. I have not watched all of them, but it was said that they were not well-made or not up to the mark. But in the case of Batwara 1947, it was a very ambitious film, with Sunny and Rajkumar Santoshi reuniting, that too for an Aamir Khan production. It cant get bigger than this. He added, For Aamir Khan, I am sure its a big setback emotionally as well as financially, especially when you invest so much time and money into making such an ambitious film. Its not one of those low-cost or mid-range films that he has attempted in the recent past as a producer. Taran Adarsh further said, At least on the first day, people should have been in cinemas. But here, not many people even stepped in. Except for the benefit it got on Independence Day, if you see the collections, they are very, very poor. The advance trends were not encouraging. Things can change with spot bookings, but even the spot bookings were shockingly low. I am sure it must have been disheartening for Aamir and the whole team. Suniel Wadhwa, co-founder and director at film production and distribution firm Karmic Films, observed, Maybe the awareness is there among the people, but the desire to go and watch the film is missing. It happened with Loveyapa (2025) as well. Though it was not produced by Aamir Khan, it was a remake of Love Today (2022). Perhaps the audience had already seen that film. Similarly, Ek Din was also a remake of a Korean film that the audience may have already consumed. Vishek Chauhan, owner of Roopbani Cinema in Purnia, Bihar, minced no words as he thundered, Aamir Khan is not able to adjust to the post-Covid reality. He still makes cinema according to his sensibility, which worked at one point in time, starting with Taare Zameen Par (2007). He feels that if he makes such films, hell get box office success even today. In the process, he may end up making a good film, but itll earn at most Rs. 150 crores or Rs. 175 crores. However, a business of Rs. 300 crores or Rs. 325 crores wont be possible. This is because the public is tired of watching such content. For them, theres nothing novel about watching this kind of cinema in a movie theatre right now. He added, Maybe, five years down the line, if Aamir makes a film like Taare Zameen Par 2, it may become a blockbuster. But at present, you need to show films in cinemas that create FOMO. That will happen when viewers are presented with content that is not easily accessible to them. When content is readily available in their homes, why would they go to a cinema hall? He opined, There was a syntax to Bollywood and a particular way of executing stories for the last 15 years, and it was completely inspired by Aamir Khans style of cinema. It appealed to multiplex audiences in metros and the Gold Class audience. Filmmakers did an overkill by making a plethora of such content. Marvel also went through it. It released a lot of content in cinemas as well as on OTT. Consequently, a film like The Marvels (2023) was a disaster. This was because the novelty value vanished. Vishek continued, Look at Yash Chopra. He made films like Dhool Ka Phool (1959) and Daag (1973), and then also made a film like Dil To Pagal Hai (1997). If you showed these three films to a person, he or she wouldnt be able to believe that all three movies were made by the same filmmaker. In between, he also made Deewaar (1975), Darr (1993), etc. Yash ji could read the market and the mood of the public. Aamir Khan should take a leaf out of his book. He signed off by stating, If you are a commercial actor and a commercial filmmaker, you have to respect the box office. The box office and stock market are like the ocean. You cant fight them. Fighting the box office and fighting the stock market is like fighting against nature. Also Read: Aamir Khan begins major weight-loss transformation for Ashutosh Gowarikers Lalkaara

UPT20 League: Bhuvneshwar Kumar Stars As Lucknow Falcons Make It 3 Wins In A Row

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Falcons skipper and renowned India international Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivered a vintage new-ball masterclass to lead his team to a comprehensive six-wicket victory over the defending champions, Kashi Rudras, in match 20 of the UP T20 League 2026, which saw a full 20-over contest at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. The victory in the match that got off to a delayed start marks the Lucknow Falcons' third consecutive win of the season and completes back-to-back victories over the Kashi Rudras in consecutive days. Opting to bowl first, the Lucknow Falcons applied immense pressure right from the start. Bhuvneshwar Kumar completely dismantled the Kashi Rudras' top order during the powerplay, striking three times in quick succession to reduce the defending champions to a precarious 28/3. The Kashi innings struggled to find any momentum following the early collapse. Shubham Chaubey offered the only significant resistance, playing a resilient knock of 46 from 32 deliveries to give his team a fighting chance. However, pacer Abhinandan Singh returned to rattle the middle and lower order, complementing his captain perfectly. Abhinandan finished with brilliant figures of 3/16, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar set the tone with an exceptional 3/20. The combined bowling effort successfully bundled out the Kashi Rudras for 126 in 19.1 overs. Chasing 127 for victory, Lucknow Falcons opener Mohammad Saif provided a quick start, scoring a brisk 17 off 8 balls. The momentum momentarily shifted when Kashi bowler Sangam Singh struck twice in quick succession, dismissing Saif and removing Ajeet Verma for a duck. Unfazed by the early wickets, Himanshu Singh took complete control of the chase. He anchored the innings with a fluent and aggressive 64 off 41 balls, finding the boundary rope nine times and clearing it twice. By the time he departed in the 14th over with the score at 109/3, he had already put the Falcons firmly in the driver's seat. A brief rain delay halted play at the end of the 14th over with the Falcons needing just 16 runs from 36 balls. Following the short break, Kritagya Singh contributed a handy 29 before being dismissed. Priyam Garg and wicketkeeper Kaartikaya Singh then comfortably knocked off the remaining runs, completing the chase with 24 balls to spare. For his spectacular opening spell that broke the back of the Kashi Rudras' batting lineup, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was adjudged the Player of the Match. We were down on the points table when we started, but we have played really well in the last three matches, Bhuvneshwar noted. It has been very good for us and has helped us move up the table. Discussing his tactical approach with the new ball, Bhuvneshwar emphasised keeping things simple. Overall, it was a good wicket, but there was a little bit of swing. The basic plan was to keep the ball in the right areas and try to challenge the batters with that swing, he explained. Luckily, it worked. Generally, you don't get too much movement, maybe for two or three balls, and I got a wicket off a flick as well. It was a good day for me, but overall, it was a great bowling performance from the entire team. To bowl an opposition out for around 125 runs is a fantastic effort. When asked about his pinpoint use of variations, the seasoned international credited his ability to read the game in real-time. I don't think you can know your variations beforehand. It depends on how the wicket is playing, the conditions, the ground dimensions; everything matters. Generally, the ball can skid a little better under lights. You have to make those decisions in the moment, and experience helps a lot with that. When asked about his pinpoint use of variations, the seasoned international credited his ability to read the game in real-time. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories After bowling them out, you naturally want to chase the target quickly, he said. The opening partnership, especially Himanshu's contribution, provided exactly what you need while chasing a low total. Sometimes you think about playing safely for the first six overs and attacking later, but that can create problems. We got the perfect start today, and I cannot complain. Article Source: IANS
